In my freshmen year, I lettered in both track and cross country. I also got the Rookie of the Year Award in cross country, and the Freshmen of the Year Award in track. At regions for XC I was 7th. At state I was 65th. In track at regions I placed 3rd in the mile and 2nd in the 2 mile. At state I was 17th in the mile and 13th in the 2 mile.
Sophomore year I was a cross country captain and I lettered again. I was 3rd at regions and 12th at state. At track regions I was 3rd in the mile and the 2 mile. I also anchored the winning medley relay team.
Junior year I got a stress fracture about a month before the cross country season started, but made a great comeback with a 2nd place finish at regions. At state I placed 6th, and I broke 19 minutes for the second time in my racing history. Team captain again. In track I shattered my old PRs and was doing well until I got a stress reaction. After 3 weeks off I built my strength back up and performed well at state, earning 4th in the 1600 and 5th in the 3200. After that, I was invited to the Great Southwest Track Meet in Albuquerque, where I took 5th.
My senior year in cross country I was a captain again, this time with Amanda and Natalie. This season I was injury free so I got to run competitively at invites. At state I took 3rd. At Footlocker Western Regionals I outkicked a girl on the track to finish 10th, which qualified me for nationals the next weekend. I beat both of the girls who had beat me at state in that race. At nationals I took 22nd and beat 6 of the girls who had beat me at regionals. Going into the outdoor season the first Invitational I attended was the Davis Super Meet where I qualified for state in the 1600 and the 3200, and I broke the meet record for the 3200 in an 11:01.29, the previous record was an 11:17. I had a strong finish to my senior season and finally claimed a state title. I ran the fastest 1600 and 3200 at state for any division, claiming the double crown in those events, and earning the athlete of the year award :) Now in college, I run for the University of Utah. I lettered my freshman season of cross country, and made it to regionals in the 5k in track. Sophomore year I improved in cross country. In track I raced the 1500, 5k, 800, 10k, and the mile of the DMR before repeating the 5k at conference and then the 10k at regionals. Placed 28th behind a lot of seniors... so nationals next year!!

| | This afternoon I did a workout at Liberty park. I warmed up 2 miles and then did strides and drills. The workout was threshold miles with 1 minute rest. Kep said 3 or 4, so I planned on 3 because I wasn't feeling too confident after last week's threshold. My first one was 6:30, the second 6:26, and when I hit the third in 6:23 I decided I could do 4 and hit 6:17. I guess I warmed up along the way My left hip was hurting a little bit but that went away as I got going as well. Cooled down to finish with 8 total. |

| | Today I went running on the Jordan river trail. I originally intended to do 8, but at 2.5 I didn't feel like fighting the wind anymore and my hip was hurting so I turned around. |

| | I did heat and stem on my back today to see if it would help with my hip pain. Later I went running at Wheeler farm so I could be on a soft surface. My hip still hurt, so I just did 1 lap and called it. The uneven surface probably didn't help, but I'm sure it would have hurt even on a smooth surface.

| | I saw a machine yesterday that I haven't seen before so I decided I'd try it today. It is one that basically you set the stride you want. I tried it for 10 minutes and then decided to hop over to the elliptical so I could get some turnover, did that for 35.

| | Today I biked. I warmed up 10 minutes and then did 10 sets of 2 minutes hard 1 minute easy, followed by a 5 mile cooldown. I got 12 miles in! My hip is feeling mostly alright, though it hurts with odd movements or walking on uneven ground.

| | My back has been feeling much better today, but I thought I'd better cross train another day before running again. So I biked 45 minutes.

| | Today my sister was my workout buddy at the new student life center. :) We hadn't been running together in a long time! We did 2 miles together on the indoor track, then I did another mile before joining my sister on the elliptical. Then she hopped off and ran 2 more miles. I just stayed on for 20 minutes. Afterwards we did core together. My abs are sore!! So is my Abs.

| | Poorly timed run today. I had made it less than a mile and then there was lightning so I turned around and hurried home. Got drenched when I turned onto my street.

| | Today I took Ellie for a run in the stroller up City Creek. I started at the Capitol. I was originally planning on just going up 3.25 miles, but when I got to that point I knew I had already passed the hardest part and it was beautiful so I went another half mile. I stopped just before the signs saying the water shed was close by, but I didn't need the extra mileage. Ellie was awake by then so I got a few pictures. And she was talking to me on the way down. She's a sweetheart. ❤️👌🏼
